Testers Wanted: L.A.B. DF3 Putter

I have been eyeing up LAB putters and the science behind them. This would be a great opportunity to compare to my scotty center shaft.

I've been lusting over a LAB putter.  It rolls so smooth on the showroom floor, would love to see how it performs on the course.  

I love my Cobra Agera but I'd like to see if the DF3 helps me with 5-10ft putts which is where I struggle the most.

Intrigued by the whole L.A.B concept and if they really can achieve the Holly Grail - make me not want to keep adding to my putter collection. Oh yes, make me a more consistent putter that would help. That probably is the vicious circle - keeping changing putter (for no good reason) and not be consistent, then change putter - you get it.

Completely intrigued by these as someone who has always been a blade guy who has gone to face balanced when my putting stroke gets off.  

They seem to be one of the only companies innovating in golf.

I’ve been eyeing off a lab putter for almost a year now but with limited availability in Australia (and lefty) it’s so hard to test them out. What a serendipitous opportunity!

I was recently fit for clubs, and the company pushed hard to get me into the LAB putter. I have to admit I loved the feel but could not stand the look of that humongous head. Definitely not a pretty club (my opinion). I wonder what the result would be like on the course as opposed to in a controlled environment. 

I have went from mallet to blade over the past two seasons and last week i played with someone who had the df3... am willing to give my whole weekend for months to test this thing ahah. please MGS give to a golfer who cars for the game.

A good friend of mine has the previous version. I have used it a few times on practice greens. They look wild but are pure. Hoping I get the opportunity to test and share my findings.

A great opportunity to test one of the hottest putters on the market. 

I'd love to test the L.A.B. DF3 putter. With a 1.9 putt/hole average their new approach to putting might boost my game to a lower handicap

Is this open to golfers in the UK?

I have never really been a good putter, but now that my drives and Iron play are more consistent, I need to stop the bleeding on the green. Would love to test the L.A.B. DF3.

What an awesome chance to put a great putter in someone's bag.

Truly an awesome putter.. One of the weekend warriors I occasionally play with uses one he picked up on vacation and it has seriously completed his end game. I've tried it and was amazed by how smooth the swing is, I mean you really had to try to get rotation out of it. Would love to be the next one on the course that could wipe out the 3 putt sign the follows me around. 

Would love to be considered for this

Would love a chance to try this one out! 

@GolfSpy_APH Jamie what did you find was the biggest change now that you’ve had the Mezz a while?

I believe this putter could improve my short game. Nothing  to lose and a lot to gain.

 

Would love to give it a run against my long, side-saddle putter.

with my long putter, if it doesn't fall, it always burns an edge, because of its ease of use.

Good luck to all and thanks for the shot at it.

love the tall putters people are using with the LAB. Seems like the guys on tour are liking em!

Picked up my new DF3 yesterday and compared it to the new Odyssey AI Cruiser, the one that Rickie Fowler has made so popular, and the heads are almost identical in size front to back.  Because the shape of the DF3 is more curvy, I'd say it is overall smaller than the rectangular shape of the Cruiser.  The DF3 is big, but not humongous.

Yep - this is a worldwide test! Good luck if you end up entering!

As a tester from '22, and a FIRM believer that the DF2.1 has completely changed my putting game, I would highly, strongly, other-words-that-mean-the-same thing encourage any/all of you to submit a video to L.A.B. for the online fitting - even just as an experiment.  It's free, and once the recommendation comes in, you'll be able to take those measurements and see if one of the floor-samples has the same set-up.  The technology really IS built to your specs, so if you're (like me) a lie-angle of 65-degrees, and you're in the store rolling a 70-degree model,  you might find yourself too upright and uncomfortable.  

Just some food for thought for those of you applying/considering a L.A.B.!

Well said - I get a little uneasy seeing people in PGASS purchase a LAB off the shelf (assumingly). The whole point of the design is to better fit a specific body type / swing path, so I can imagine a number of people try out a “stock” version (whatever that is), hate it, and never consider LAB in the future. 
 

Case in point, last time I was at my local PGA, I directed two different guys to the LAB site to show them the free fitting option after watching them hit a Link.

Took a bit to get speed control down, but other than that not much. Don't over think it!
